G IIRS FiRST WT IX»T STRIAL COMMISSION IS NOT READY TO HAKE RECO3I MBNDATIONS TELLS WHAT IT HAS LEARNED Subject of Transportation l« Hmnls of I*r«-liiitliinr>- lletuirn—Fuel* jim to Ownership of Ele vator* Develop:'d. WASHINGTON, May 17.—The indus trial commission today made a prelimi nary report to congress on the subject of transportation. The commission states that "owing to the incompleteness of its Inquiry the commission Is not prepared at present to make recommendations to congress or to the state legislatures, but j contemplate the making of such recom mendations hereafter." The report made today covers £31 pages of printed matter, the larger part of which is the testimony that has been taken on the subject of transportation, j In a review of the evidence the commis- B'on says: "While detailed and specific statement as to the conditions of labor and traffic have not usually been sought, many gen oral statements as to these conditions have be< n obtained, and, although there is, of course, not a little difference of opinion, conclusions as to facts emerge with clearness from the testimony. Nat urally there is even greater difference ; of judgment as to needed legislation; but here again it is possible to gather some fair conclusions concerning the prepon- j derance of opinion among those most In terested as to some or the important problems now before the people." On the question of discriminations be tween individuals, the report says that the general consensus of opinion among ■witnesses is that the railways still make them. They also say that the evidence is clear that the terminal elevators in Chicago, and to a less extent in other grain markets, are owned by compara tively few persons; that the owners of the public elevitors also control great private elevators; that they themselves take a large proportion of the gran that come into elevators, and the business of handling grain on commission has been greatly reduced by this practice. It is also claimed that these men own most of the country elevators. CANTEEN LAW CONTROVERSY. The reports of Secretary Root, Gen. Cor foin and other officers on the army can teen sent to the military committee yes terday today called forth a reply from Rev. Henry Colburn and Mrs. Dye Ellis, the legislat've superintendent of the W. C. T. U. It says in part: "The administration yesterday for the first time came out openly for army liquor selling on its merits. Hitherto the plea has been that the administration could not suppress the canteens because the law of congress was ambiguous. Both President McKinley and Secretary Root «a!d recently that If congress would epeak in plain terms, they would enforce the law. This attitude has now been abandoned, and the secretary of war, whose words are to be taken as those of the president, has come out squarely In favor of the canteen. Secretary Root, pointing to the army canteen develop ments in the British and French armies, eaid yesterday in an official communica tion to congress: " 'I think the enactment of this bill ■would be injurious to the temperance, morals and discipline of the enlisted men pf the army.' "Secretary Root, in Baying that abstin ence cannot be secured in the army, for gets the success of railways In securing abstinence, and his reference to the Philippines Is unfortunate on account of the unparalleled record of drunkenness *mong our soldiers there. We are at a loss to find an excuse for Gen. Corbin s Claim that the liquor trade and temper ance people are working together in op position to the canteen, in the face of the fact that the liquor papers are op posing the anti-canteen law." OLEOMARGARINE MEN HEARD. Representatives of the large oleo margarine and butterine concerns of Chi cago, Kansas City and other points were before the house committee on agricul ture today in general defense of their Industry and Jn opposition to the pro posed additional restrictions. Manager Levering, of the firm of Swift & Co., de tailed tho extent of the business, and the widespread use of oleomargarine among laboring people. He said the effect of the proposed legislation would be to drive honest dealers out of business and give further incentive to dishonest dealers. WORKINGS OF CURRENCY LAW. The report of the comptroller of the currency shows that from March 14, the date the new currency bill went Into ef fect, to May 12, applications had been received from 229 parties for authority to conduct national banks with a capital of less than $50,000 each, or a total capital of $5,095,000. Applications over $50,000 with a total capital of $2,950,000 had been re ceived. Since March 14, fifty-nine banks have been organized with less than $50,000 capital, and twenty-eight have been or- Kanized with $50,000 capital or over. -xhese eighty-seven banks have deposited to secure circulation aggregating 11,586,000. FIIEE HOMES BILL SIGNED. President McKinley signed the free homes bill at 3:22 o'clock this afternoon. There- were present Delegate Flynn, of Oklahoma, and Representative Gamble, of South Dakota, both of whom made brief speeches in support of the measure. A number of others interested in the fate of the bill also were present, so that the attendance assumed unusual proportions lor an occasion of that sort. The presi dent said his opinions would be put in writing at the loot of the bill and then affixed his rignature. REVENUE RULING. Commissioner Wilson, of the Internal revenue bureau, has held that building and loan associations making loans on collaterals to their own members only and pending withdrawals of small amounts on demand upon receipts of their own mem bers from whom they receive such dep osits of money are not liable to tax as bankers. POSTOFFICE DILL. £iuntt.» Devoted the Day to Consid eration of It. WASHINGTON, May 17.—The postofflc? appropriation bill was considered in the senate today. Tho committee amend ment for extension of the pneumatic tube service created some discussion and was Under discussion when the senate ad |oui n>;d. Mr. Wolcott, chairman of postofflces and post roads committee, vigorously at tacked the appropriation of $750,000 for pneumatic lube service, declaring the ex tension of the service was unnecessary and the appropriation a waste of public money.

NEW YORK, May 17.—A case involving the constitutional status of Porto Rico was argued in the United States district court in this city today. The case is tha»t of John H. Goetz & Co., who have appealed to the United States court from. a decision of the board of general ap praisers and seek "to recover duties im posed on goods imported by them from j Porto Rlc'A Assistant United States Dis trict Attorney Platt, for the government, said, in the course of his address: "The acquisition of new property or territory by war or by treaty is politi cal, not Judicial. It belongs to the exe cutive and legislative departments and not to the court. Until congress acts the court cannot extend the constitution or laws of the United States to newly acquired land. The judicial department cannot exercise the functions of the exe cutive or legislative department." He further maintained that at the time of the importations in the suit Porto Rico was under the military government of the United States and the- national boundary had not been extended over It by act of congress.

T"'ist ~s>~~ ____l^ Trains to Chicago.) , [• 11 I STILL SIRIMI RAILROADS HAVE BEEN TRYING TO JIAKK AINTI-OOMMISSION AGREEMENTS SINCE IStiU ORIGINAL COPY HELD HEBE It Wa« Well Intended, and «h Fu tile as Many Later Oik'n Huve Proven. In connection with the long drawn out troubles of American roads over the last anti-commission agreement, a document recently unearthed, a copy of which is in the possession of one of the local railroad officials., is of a peculiar interest. It is the first anti-commission agreement ever j entered into between any American rail i roads, and was signed May 22, 1666. All the signers of the agreement are now dead, and the action taken then shows its self to have been similar to those of like character of more recent date, in that the agreement held in force but for a com paratively short time and all the signers lived to see it broken. This father and mother of all the tribe of commission and rate agreements reads as follows: "It is a well known fact that most of the different roads show a decrease in business, while the expense of operating (consequent on the high price of labor and material and the addition of large govern ment taxes, etc.), are considerably in creased. "Acting on the above facts, and for the purpose of correcting evils that exist in some localities, a convention of managers of the Atlantic lines was held in New York, May 22, 1866, and it was unanr imously agreed that all commissions, drawback?., etc., of every kind and na ture to procure business over their re spective lines should be positively discon tinued and abolished. At a subsequent meeting, the managers of all lines being present, it was agreed that the resolution of the Atlantic trunk lines shou".d be fully concurred In and we are instructed to J notify all agents that on and after Aug. j l, lSb6, no commissions on the sale of tickets over cur respective lines would , be. paid or allowed: that no drawbacks of any kind or nature would be permitted line P"° CUre pas£enger traffic over said The circular which was sent out to all agents, was signed by H.

The Baltimore & Ohio railroad adopts an innovation next Sunday wh:ch will occasion a change of uniform by thou sands of its employes scattered through seven states. The new uniforms are dis tinctive in design and are different from those worn on any other road in the country. The peculiar feature of the . change, ami *ne which is almost with out parallel, is that every conductor, trainman, baggageman, station agent, porter and brakeman on the system will .. appear on Sunday morning in his new togs, making the change from the old uniforms to the new simultaneous on all parts of the system. The new regulations gve passenger' conductors a suit of navy blue perge, | with three-button cutaway coat in the place of the familiar single or double brested sack coat. These coats will be trimmed with gold band embroidery. MAY GO TO RIO GRANDE. Humor of Underwood's Change Is Credited Here. Advices received from the West to the effect that Fred D. Underwood will be come general manager of the Denver & j Rio Grande, June 1, are corroborated by information received in St. Paul railroad circles. The announcement that the change will be made occasioned some sur prise, though several officials of western lines had received intimation of the pend ing transfer previously.

NEW YORK, May 17.-The stockhold ers of the Metropolitan Street Ra'lway company, at a special meeting today, ap proved the lease of the Third Avenue company by the Met.opolitan Street Rail way company.

The Northern Pacific has issued a handsome folder in colors for the sea son's Yellowstone Park business, which dpens next month. It contains a large amount of information concerning the park, with data concerning hotels and railway accommodations. CONDITION OF THE CROPS WKA.THKR HAS NOT BEEN OF THE BEST. The Northern Pacific's crop report for the week, issued by the general freight; department yesterday., shows favorable conditions throughout the Northwest, with weather and moisture factors un usually promising In many localities. It says: Minnesota Division—Crops on the Min nesota division are doing well consider ing the conditions which have prevailed during the past week. The weather for ■ the most part has been hot and dry, ac companied with high winds, which have evaporated surface moisture. Light local showers have fallen to" some localities. Wheat, oats and rye are stooling nicely ! under the circumstances, and the season j compares favorably in point of time with last year. Corn and potato plowing is fin ished, and fully 50>per cent of the plant ing done. A smald quantity of flax has i also been seeded. Farmers are feeling ] some anxiety on account of the lack of i moisture, but it is thought that grain can do without it at least a week longer with out material damage being sustained. Little Falls & Dakota- Branch— rI he out look on this branch is- very encouraging, and the season two weeks in advance Of , last year. Small grain shows a fine j growth, is even and of good coloc. Mea- | dows, pastures and vegetables are doing nicely. Corn and potato planting Is pro gressing rapidly, and nearly all seeding for the spring will .be completed by the • end of this week. Fergus Falls Branch—The prospects on ! the Fergus Falls branch continue good, j although hot windy days and scarcely : any moisture have been experienced' throughout the week from Deer Creek to j Milnor. The cool n&hts, however, have j done much to help stooling, and growing j grain is said to be looking all right and coming up Pine. Corn and potato plant ing is far -along-, but more moisture must be, had or the plant Till be slow in ; sprouting. While there is no immediate caune for uneasiness at the dryness of ! the soil, yet rain is hoped for soon to give grain more life. Dakota Division—A heavy rainfall visit ed the country between Fargo and Wheatland on Sunday last and greatly eased the effects of the hot spell. Further ' west the growth is somewhat backward, I though looking well considering the ex- i cessive warm, windy weather which this i section has had to contend with. A few i heavy downpours would bring about a! vast improvement. Flax seeding is pro- ' gressing slowly, and the indications are that the acreage will not be as large as • originally anticipated. EGG DEALERS' NEW PLAN AFTER MAY 28 PAY ONL.Y FOR GOOD ONES. After May 28, egg dealers of Minnesota, Wisconsin and the Dakotas will not pay for cracked or bad eggs, which they esti mate will save them 10 per cent. The buyers for the egg dealers who go through the country will hereafter pay but three-fourths of the price down, the other fourth to be paid after the bad eggs have been taken into consideration. At a recent meeting of the Egg D-ealers' association it was resolved not to furnish caspp free of charge nor to repay return freight on the oases, except at the own ers' expense; that all quotations shall be based on "loss oflp after May 2S; that all shippers who are in the habit of ship ping "plugged" or stored stock be in formed of the action taken and that all purchases will be at the actual market value of th© eggs. -•*»- Yon Can't i»eat 'Em.

Gilmore, of Madison, .Wis., in his address declared that the tendency of modern churches was toward spirituality.
